I have recently been exploring the idea of art. If art is the process of creating order from chaos - then what else can be considered art? Your speech, articulation and diction. When you speak, there is an inherent process of creating a lattice of words from the entropy within your own head. If through architecture, an entire society's intention can shine through - then within your speech, your la...

Each side has factors that justify why they believe in the values they are part of. It can be very important to live in a progressive society, but it is also very important to live in truth and tradition. Each can be very dangerous. The issue isn't the morals or the values themselves, moreover it is the lack of willingness to accept change. A lack of understanding of your opponent renders your own...

Harley Harmer is a fitness influencer, business owner and Gymshark sponsor. Making decisions, especially ones that benefit us in the long-term, can be incredibly daunting.

Harley believes your self-worth should come from the decisions you make...

The climate crisis is something that is gradually affecting our world. This is a big concern considering this is the only planet currently available for human adaptation - so taking care of it is definitely a concern. Whether it is something Gen Z should care about or not is a different conversation. The world is being affected - what are we doing about it and should we care? My Instagram: https:/...

Population collapse is a topic area I didn't really care about until recently. But frankly, it represents the issues my generation and the next generation are going to face. Understanding these core problems and up coming catastrophes - we can create a path of understanding about the world that we live in. Now, why should we even care if it doesn't affect us in this very moment? My Instagr...

Life isn't all it's hyped up to be on advertisements, social media and the news. Life is boring - it's hard and stale. But we make it worse by ignoring our own dreams. Why? Why spend our life energy on something we don't even care about? We are built for more than that - we all deserve more than that. The Human Lens is a show where you can visit to try understand the world that we live in and wher...

Men and women have been fighting over a multitude of different things across the years. There seems to never be peace between the two genders - now why is that?

In this episode, Vansh and Deb Tiernan dive into the challenges that a person will face with age. The difficulty in recovery, training and having the grit to go out and do something. As you grow old you don't have to fall into what elderly people typically do. Are the elderly misrepresented in sport? How is that changing? What about relationships? What can be learnt from a 35 year long marriage. L...

Regret hurts, but the problem comes when we keep letting it hurt us. We need to move on from things that don't serve us in the now. When things have happened, they have happened. Sure, mourn the loved one or the terrible loss, but what is ruining the rest of your month over that going to do? You fall backwards in that way. You let eh past control now, which then leads to more regret in the fut...

If we only think logically, we are unable to expose ourselves to greater ideas and solutions that exist within the illogical realm of thinking. The opposite of a "good idea" is another good idea. We just need to allow ourselves to open up and think of more illogical solutions - attempt them and see what happens. There have been such a wide number of successes that have all been based on irrational...

I get the sense, finding good friends has become as much of a problem as finding good relationships. We focus so much on finding the right partner, what do we want in them, and what should be improve in ourselves, that we forget about doing this for friendships. We leave it to the side and wonder why we don't have friends who root for us and relate to us. So why are they so important and what can...

I get the sense, the pain that people feel when things do not go their way - seems to be a valid excuse to blame the opposite sex for their own personals shortcomings. Because, as you can imagine, it would be much easier to blame someone or in this case, a whole other gender for your inadequacies, rather than dealing with the pain yourself. This leads to a gender war, because apparently both gende...

We all have this idea that we can do it all, that we are invincible - immortal even to an extent. We don't think about the end of our lives, it's too morbid and melancholic anyways right? Your world will only last some time - so it becomes important to pick what it is you need to spend more of your time on. Not everything can be done - so we must live a rich life.

There is so much more to say about this topic. The standards of dating have become increasingly impossible to reach - women are told to look like runway models and men are told to be the next Google. Neither can live up to those expectations and since no one wants to enter a relationship below their standards, the ground is left barren. It's a no mans land. What do we do? Let's find out. The Show'...

When you don't know how long something is going to take, there is pain involved within that. Life doesn't move as quickly as the world paints it to be. Social media has sort of seduced you in that way - it's important to learn patience in a world where things are about NOW. It's something I, myself, struggle with. I want things to go well now, but unfortunately they don't but I...

I get the sense that we think we can get it all done - we can't. We think all the things we desire to complete will finally at some point reach completion. But this is delusion - the world doesn't work that way. Which is why it's important to understand what it is we can do and what it is we can't. From that point we can sort out what we should be working towards. The Show's Socials:Instagram: htt...

The biggest issue I have been struggling with is trying to admire those who are ahead of me, instead of consistently being jealous of them. I found this jealousy had caused me to hate my own ambition - I always assumed there was no point because there was someone else who was doing better. But this was wrong - I had to find how to improve while learning off of others. The Show's Socials:Instagram:...

The fear of the unknown. The battle with uncertainty - one of the biggest issues faced by anyone who wants to be great at anything. Life doesn't reward you for taking a different route until you prove you can stomp through the uncertainty that exists. Life is full of unknowns and we seek to try justify those loose ends - yet we fall short for there is no true way to predict the future - all you ca...

The biggest roadblock I've ever had to face in any creative endeavor has been falling into this trap of imitation. I always teetered on the edge of plagiarism. I never copied scripts of whatever, I copied the packaging and thought it would help me - yet I ended up digging myself into a hole because it wasn't me. I hope to unveil these problems and help others who struggle with this too. Th...

Feeling enough, giving ourselves a pat on the back, allowing ourselves some recognition. Things that feel impossible to come by - why? This is exactly the sort of questions I wonder, but then maybe I think it's a feature and not a bug of people who are wired for success. Things don't just happen - you have to work for them and maybe feeling empty was a way to ensure we thrived. The Show's Socials:...
